Given the decades of code that is using early binding now, I think it would be a really bad idea not to teach that as the default— folks absolutely need to understand early binding and it’s limitations. But at the end of the day, other than the legacy, I think having a late binding option will be a bit easier for newbies, but not radically different. -CHB I'm disinclined > to choose at this point, and will leave that up to educators and style > guide authors. > > ChrisA > [1] Technically, there'd still be a difference, but only if you mess > with the function's dunders.
